English	Second, we turn to the condensed meaning: These two lines show the meaning of the topic; they are a resolve to compose that relinquishes what is simply made up (rang bzo) and what is redundant (zlos pa). Third, we turn to the meaning of the words: The children of the sugatas are the bodhisattvas who cultivate the spirit of supreme awakening in the beginning, who train in the activity of the six perfections in the middle, and who become buddhas in the end. What is expressed here identifies the topic as the great disciplines of the practice that comprise the entirety of these stages of the Mahāyāna path up to buddhahood. Furthermore, it comprises the three activities: the activity of engaging in the cultivation of the spirit of awakening, the activity of accomplishing the practices of the six perfections, and the activity[p.35]The Great Hum Duckworth, Douglas, trans.

From among these three activities, this text extensively demonstrates the first two and presents a short summary of the third.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Pāramitā - The six or ten types of practices which lead an individual to Buddhahood. The practice of perfections is particularly important in Mahāyāna Buddhism in which the entire path of the Bodhisattva to reach full enlightenment is included in the six or ten perfections. The six perfections are that of giving, of discipline, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom. The perfection of skill-in-means, aspirations, power, and pristine wisdom are added to them to make ten perfections. Skt पारमिता  Tib ཕར་ཕྱིན།;ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ།  Ch 波羅蜜

Mahāyāna - Mahāyāna, or the Great Vehicle, refers to the system of Buddhist thought and practice which developed around the beginning of the Common Era, focusing on the pursuit of the state of full enlightenment of the Buddha through the realization of the wisdom of emptiness and the cultivation of compassion.
